We’ve got an eerily timely episode of Mental tonight with David Carradine’s last guest starring role before his odd death in Thailand last week. On the show, Carradine plays a famous author/professor who is struck by lightning while out with his wife, she is killed instantly and he is left catatonic. Jack goes all ‘mental’ on him and tries to bring him back using a risky and unorthodox method. Meanwhile, to make things more complicated, the attraction between Jack and the patient’s daughter, played by hottie Estella Warren

From one drama to another, we move on to my new addiction, Real Housewives of New Jersey! Tonight Dina, Caroline and Teresa head to the A.C. for a weekend down the shore, but the drama follows Teresa when she fights with her husband over her desire for plastic surgery. T wants to get a new pair of “bubbies,” but Mr. T is more about the booty than the booby! Isn’t this fight normally the other way around?!? Later, Danielle’s “relationship” with her boy toy falls apart and a quiet birthday lunch spirals into a monster catfight! Yay!

And Rescue Me has been heating up over the last few weeks with Tommy falling off the wagon and back into the sack with both Janet AND Sheila (no, not at the same time!) Tonight, sneaky, manipulative Sheila uses her leverage with Tommy to control his drinking. Lou must relive an unpleasant memory. And hot, sexy Franco gets back in the boxing ring. Did I mention that Franco is really hot and sexy? Just making sure I mentioned it!

Notable mentions… Julia Roberts and the Black Eyed Peas hang out on Letterman.
